    RadChart for WPF - Redesigned

    Some time ago when we announced our WPF charting effort a we received some feedback about the design of the control. At such an early stage of the control's development we were more interested in presenting the technical merits of the component rather than flashing some eye candy to please our customers. Well, development is moving on smoothly and now is the time to finally show some eye candy - and boy, don't I just love eye candy! :) The saying goes that a picture is worth a thousand words so I'm posting some preliminary designs for the "Ice" theme our designers...

    WPF: Read-only Dependency Properties

    Yup, awkward creatures but they do exist! :) To be honest I came across these only recently and decided to share this (potentially) valuable information as well -- you cannot use it if you do not know it's there. Why do we need read-only dependency properties? There is a certain brand of dependency properties within the WPF framework that are used primarily for state determination. Often multiple conditions affect certain control state thus calculating and setting the state value directly is not feasible and generally leads to unpredictable and inconsistent results. Here is an example -- the UIElement.IsMouseOver dependency property (a common property...
